I went downstairs to get the baby up from his nap, and my son Liam started crying and freaking out so I ran back up and he was all red and saying "quarter in my throat!!" so I told him to try and cough and he couldn't get it out, so I gave him some water and he managed to swallow it down, (phew)!!

It scared us both for a second when it was stuck- but as long as he swallowed it down, there's no reason to call the Dr or anything right? It should pass right through?

Lesson learned about putting non-food objects in his mouth! (I hope! Lol)


**UPDATE**
I called the doctor and they had me feed him some plain bread to be sure it wasn't stuck anywhere, and to just keep an eye on him and call if he starts having pain anywhere.

**** we went to the hospital and got an x-ray. We go in for the results later this afternoon! He had some sharp pains this morning but is fine right now...

My ds was a little over 3 when he swallowed a quarter .. it took almost 2 weeks for him to pass it ..  but it did come out and he had no problems passing it at all . We kinda laugh about it now granted at the time we were freaked out =( Ds did learn not to eat money after that though .. so i wish your ds an easy pain free passing !
